Examples…
To run a Task from the command line, batch file, or any external software, use simple syntax. Task's path is shown in the Task Properties—General & Task tabs.
- C:\Programs\
Path\ AutomationWorkshop.exe -run "\Backup\ do.task" - C:\Programs\
Path\ AutomationWorkshop.exe -run "Backup\ do.task" - AutomationWorkshop
.exe -run "\Tasks\ Invoices\ prepare.task" - AutomationWorkshop -run "\Tasks\
Invoices\ count" - AutomationWorkshop -run "C:\Task Files\
Integrity\ do backup.task"
"C:\Program Files\Febooti Automation Workshop\
AutomationWorkshop.exe" -run "\Tasks\Prepare invoices.task" The above syntax can be shortened… simply omit Task's root folder and .task extension.
"C:\Program Files\Febooti Automation Workshop\
AutomationWorkshop.exe" -run "\Prepare invoices" Parameters…
Optionally, it is possible to pass one or more parameters to a Task. Just enclose each parameter in quotes. Later, to access these passed values within the Task, simply use the Variable Wizard Task parameters feature.
